Year 5/6 Parent Notice

We are still having reports that some children in Y5 and Y6 are inappropriately using social media apps, with access to inappropriate language. Some of the language and references children are sending to one another are of a sexual content. We have growing safeguarding concerns with the lack of supervision that some children are having whilst on devices. Also, that some children (due to their advanced ability to use technology) are hiding certain messages, apps or photos from their adults. 

Please see attached some guidance on how to setup parental controls on all iPhone, Android and Samsung devices. You can enable restrictions to stop your child from using specific features and social media or gaming applications. 

I thank you for your support with this matter in advance. Please do not hesitate to contact the school for support or guidance around online safety.
